Day 215: Happy Who-lidays? The Santa Story Complicit in the Abuse of the World


Here we are coming up on yet another Christmas holiday and something quite profound has just struck me in regards to this generational tradition. Now, I was recently watching a video about fast food, in which it was mentioned that Ronald McDonald is most recognized by children second only to Santa Claus. I believe it was in this video here: The Dark Side of Fast Food: Why Does It Make You Sick / Fat / Tired / Taste So Good (2001) which was very eye-opening and informative on the fast food industry and it's impacts and so I suggest to watch it, however in this blog we're talking about Santa Claus, and this interesting fact, that Santa Claus is the most recognizable fictional character by children.

What this shows is just how pervasive the Santa Claus story is. Meaning, that many, many, many of us are raised with this story. The story of Santa Claus and how on he manages to deliver presents to all children. Well, just those who have been nice, and not those who have been 'naughty'. What shocked me about this is that in a world where billions are living in poverty and most assuredly do not get any kinds of presents at any time of the year, let alone have their basic needs met, what are we doing giving children the extremely false idea that apparently everyone is going to be taken care of, and if you aren't, it's because you were naughty.

I remember myself as a child, thinking, 'man that is so cool' because it makes sense that everybody should be enjoying themselves and be taken care of. But, the reality is anything but that. And more and more of us are feeling that reality as it becomes harder and harder to make a living and pay all the bills, let alone have enough for gifts.

It truly is an elitist holiday, as only those who are lucky enough to have 'extra money' can participate, and those who don't are just out of luck, and have to watch everyone else being jolly and giving gifts, while feeling bad that they can't give the gift they'd like to, because that is a big part of what Christmas has become, proving to our family how much we love them by buying them stuff. And this is no joke, we will experience these things, I know because I went through it myself in a rough year where I had no money for gifts and I felt horrified because I couldn't participate in the gift giving like everyone else, and I dreaded what others would think of me when I would receive a gift from them but they would get none from me in return. I feared that they would be disappointed, like they missed out on an opportunity to have received a free thing, because really that is what Christmas has become about. And that they would think less of me because they had given me a gift but got nothing in return, and I mean, we will think/say these things. And all of this is really petty when we look at what is really going on in the world.


There is almost no consideration for the consequences of this holiday, of all the slave labor that goes into massive amounts of products produce just to hopefully be bought as Christmas gifts. And where a lot of the gifts that are given are immediately thrown away because they weren't wanted. Or all the pets given as gifts that end up becoming strays or in shelters, have a look at these articles: No Christmas Puppies, Please! and Many pets given as Christmas gifts end up in shelters, animal advocates say, which shows how an idyllic picture in mind “of floppy-eared puppies peering innocently out of a colorful gift box” meets up with reality, and the cute puppy ends up in a shelter, where many pets are euthanized due to lack of space.

So if the picture of cute puppies in our mind helps us to ignore and not consider the reality of what having a pet and being responsible for another living being entail, then what affect does giving children the impression that we all get presents every year as long as we're 'nice' have, in a world with massive global poverty?

How sinister is it actually to tell such a story, when the reality is that there are children who won't even have anything to eat on Christmas day, there are thousands of children who will in fact die on Christmas day, and if we really cared at Christmas, we would want to know whether all children got a present, whether all children were able to be in a 'Christmas spirit' and enjoying themselves. Wouldn't we be outraged to discover that on Christmas Day, the day in which all children are supposed to get presents, that children who have never done anything to deserve it, are busy starving to death? Wouldn't we care that reality goes entirely against the beautiful, nice picture we're trying to paint? Could we really stomach it, to go on and pretend all this Holiday Cheer and niceness, while allowing such atrocity to be the real reality?

Could you tell the story of Santa Claus to a starving child who is living in abject poverty? Could you tell them a fat man is going to come and give them a present? Would you tell a homeless child on the street that if they are nice Santa will visit their cardboard box? Obviously not, because they are going to see the reality pretty quick. So why do we tell any children this lie at all? Especially when it's the children who are in positions of support who can then grow up thinking that life is good to you if you are good, and if you're poor you must have done something wrong, you must have been 'naughty' or you are 'just lazy'. Who grow up to be the adults who could actually make a difference in this world, whereas those in poverty are stuck in poverty.

What we are teaching our children is to believe in a fairytale nice story and ignore reality, but what this leads to is the problems in our reality are ever increasing, and eventually no one would be able to hide from it in a nice fantasy.

And all this may sound bleak, and that is because the situation is bleak indeed, and yet, all we need to do, it is so simple really, is to face the problems, and sort them out. And then we can live in a world where Christmas is not in reality a dirty lie, a world where all children really are supported, where you really are gifted with a life worth living, where Holiday Cheer is not something that's forced out of habit and fear of not conforming. I mean, it's like we fear more to be different and do something different from the crowd and what everyone else is doing, that we would participate in what we really can't pretend anymore to be a 'positive' thing, as it's become all about consumerism and is one of the most stressful times of the year.

You don't have to be a part of the deception. One by one we can set ourselves free by living the example that you don't have to go along with this mass illusion, and become an individual that shows that it really is ok to stick to reality, it really is ok to not have to exchange gifts and find a gift for everyone, it really is ok to let go of a fairytale, so that we can get down to earth and focus on making reality what it should be: A Joy for All Any Time of the Year.

The Living Income Guaranteed is THE Gift to give ourselves, as an act of real caring, to show that we are beings that don't just believe in fantasy utopian stories, but actually care to make reality match up to the principles we pay lip service to, and make sure that no child has to suffer at Christmas time again, to put in place the support that would make sure that all children actually could have a Merry Christmas.

Day 191: What’s Required for Change?

Change require an understanding of how one exists and what is the problem with how one is existing, and the decision that one do not want to continue that way creating the same consequence over and over. So what this means is really Facing Oneself. 

Facing the Reality of oneself, to really see - in total self honesty – just what/how I am existing as, what have I become in fact, and understanding the context of who I am within existence as how it currently exists. 

You can reverse engineer this also to see that the reason we’re existing as we do and not changing is because we haven’t yet seen in self honesty and full understanding what we are/have become and the consequence we create. So we don’t have the context to yet understand what is the problem with how we’re living, to then understand why change is necessary, and especially how to change for real. 

A good example of this you will see in the show Thailand - Blood , Sweat and Takeaways - Chicken where before they were exposed to the reality of what is going on in the world, they were fine with how they were living, but when realizing the context in which food products are being produced for the elite of the world by slave labor, and by going and experiencing that slave labor and that reality for themselves, then the need for change become obvious. The gravity of the situation become obvious, and the reality of how and what one has been existing is, and how that fit in to the context of how reality is currently existing, is then understood, where one realizes for example how most of the complaints one may have are quite petty in comparison to the actual suffering that’s going on in the world, and one realize that one has been living and benefiting off of the blood, sweat and tears of others without any regard or consideration for the lives that are sacrificed in the process. 

And, ultimately, that one is responsible for the fact that such suffering exist, because we didn’t question where things came from or how they are made so cheap, when we know it must mean someone else is paying the price. It is this way, because we have accepted it, within our living, within every moment in which we ignored the reality so we could have cheap things. And thus the solution is to change ourselves, change the words we speak, change our living, from support of Ignorance of reality, to spreading Awareness of What’s Really Going On, why it’s a Problem, how We’re Responsible, so that we can then understand why we need to change, and then actually change, to no longer accept ourselves to benefit at another’s expense, as we wouldn’t want to be in that position either, so that this lead to actual change in reality, and ending slave labor.

So what do we know – if slave labor hasn’t ended yet – we haven’t effectively changed yet. We haven’t yet made change in reality – because reality hasn’t changed – it’s still the same, the same things going on, the same abuse, the same suffering. Whatever we’ve done thus far, has not been effective. And that’s because up till now, we have really only paid Lip Service to the problems in the world, but not ever getting down to the point of actually changing reality. Nothing has changed, and thus up to now it has just been Empty words, because we did not live them. 

So, because there has been no substantial change in the world – we know we have not yet got an effective understanding of ourselves, of the reality of the situation, of our responsibility for how the world exists as it does, of the consequence that we’re creating. We have for so long, never got around to actually facing reality, facing ourselves, holding on to the hope that somehow we can just keep ignoring what we’re doing, and everything will work out anyway. Yes, it’s quite ridiculous.

We have for so long, accepted a reality in which massive abuse and suffering exists, when the solution has been here all along, which is – to CHANGE. So – why have we not really got this point? What is it that has made such a simple and obvious solution, so apparently not obvious or simple? What has been so instrumental in us not ever effectively applying change? It is – Responsibility. What do I mean? That we have never grasped our responsibility, and in fact what responsibility really means. A fascinating thing – we have taken that which is our truest power, and formed such a resistance to it, that we’d cut ourselves off from that which is our ability to have power in our lives and have a real impact in reality, to make Real Change. 

We will look at this further in the next blog – of what Responsibility actually is and how we’ve misunderstood it to the extent that we’ve robbed ourselves of our Real Power in this world.

Day 190: What is Real Change?

Let's have a look at CHANGE – what is it, how does it work, what does it mean to really change, because – humanity sure likes to have ideals. Ideas and ideals and perceptions and conceptions of how things should be, but when it comes to our Actual Living – what happens? Do we apply that which we see is Ideal? Or does it remain a picture in our mind, of how things ought to be?

Can we have principles, but not live them? Can we claim to have principles, morals, standards, yet not actually live those standards, principles, morals? Do we pay Lip Service and talk about how things should be, could be, ought to be – and ‘forget’ to get down to the actual Living of it?

Isn’t it – we must Live the Change we want to See in the World? Wouldn’t that imply that we then, have to Change? Which would mean, that we would end up different than we are/have been, our living will be different, our experience will be different. So what do you know, if nothing is different – you are not Changing. And what do you know if you are not Changing? The World is Not going to Change. Why?

Because the World is made up of each and every one of us Individuals – that’s right – we don’t tend to give ourselves the real credit we’re due. It’s so easy to avoid our individual responsibility, because there are so many of us, we can just blame it on the group as a whole, and ignore our own Role as the Part we play, as a Participant in the Play of Life. And as each one go on Ignoring oneself, no one is thus Changing oneself, and thus, No One Change. The Accepted Nature of humanity Remain the Same, as it has always been.

So, the problem is that we can talk change and talk ideals, but what really matters is Changing our Living, and we have missed this point. How can you know? Because nothing in the world has changed, and the world is the reflection of ourselves and how we live, the values we accept and live by. Nothing in this world will change, until we change. Changing our very approach to how we live our lives, in each and every moment, with how we interact with our environment, other people, animals, the physical things in our world.

Most of this stuff we are hardly even aware of most of the time – because - a fascinating thing - the human is generally fixated on only itself, and only sees everything else in relation to itself. This is the CON of Consciousness, where you are in a private bubble that no one else enters, where you seem to be separate from everyone/everything else.

Yet missing the obvious – you Are Here. You are not separate and everything you do and are has an Impact on this Reality. And by believing that we exist within only our own personal experience, we cut ourself off from the rest of existence, to then only exist within the most limited way possible, in a made up realm within our mind, while all of the rest of existence is going on right around us and we’re excluding ourself from it. We settled for an Image-inary world in our mind instead of the Real world which is far more advanced and vast and is actually Physically Real.

So, the solution to this is to no longer I-so-late oneself, before it’s too late and you reach the end of the line, and to actually get to know and become a real participant in actual reality, in awareness. And awareness is not something that just happen, but will take a process of self application, to actually expand oneself to become More.

We’ll take a look at this in blogs to come, in just how do one become Aware? And what is the Benefits one stand to Gain by doing so, and the Problems that stem from our lack of Awareness that can be prevented, so we don’t have to experience our own CON-Sequence play-out in Space and Time.

Day 184: Equal Money Capitalism Ends WAR through PREVENTION


Prevent Consequence



War

In this blog, I’m now going to be walking a series on war that will go into detail about the various aspects of War. War, is a problem. Actually, it is a whole lot of problems all rolled into one. And there is no Real benefit from War, there is only the Monetary benefit to a few individuals who profit from the Big Business that is War.

War is not something that could normally be justified. It is not something that the Human would naturally do, without the intervention of various methods of Psychological manipulation. Starting from practically the moment a child enters this world, begins their education into ‘how to be a human being’ and how to conduct oneself in this world and reality.

Here are a couple of very relevant quotes:

A child come into this world and follow instructions --unfortunately the instructors do not instruct what is best for all and thus the child become what they are taught -- unable to be part of one body of life as equals -- thus--it is important to first unconditionally unlearn what has been accepted as reality to be able to recreate self to what is best for reality -- that is how one become one and equal with what is real as only what is best is real -- there will never be leaders or anyone to be followed --only instructions to build inner structure with. - Bernard Poolman

Information control and rewriting history to a NEW MEMORY to create NEW CHARACTERS in society that OBEY, is everything in the game to have Monopoly control --This extended to all facets of society--family, education, church, psychology,economic --so that NOTHING provided as information can be trusted and NO ONE is in fact able to trust their own thoughts as they have been IMPLANTED -- study the solution if you can hear me and not react to me in fear as you have been programmed to do - in this realize that All Feelings and ALL emotions are Engineered FEAR -- thus Consciousness is the Bubble of Fear that acts as the Energy Prison - Bernard Poolman

Here are some essential documentaries for you to make the time to watch to get an understanding of human nature to firstly even understand how something so Ill-Logical as War can be accepted even to this day, which stands as proof that humanity has not ever really evolved.

The Century of the Self


“The Century of the Self is a British television documentary series by Adam Curtis. It focuses on how the work of Sigmund Freud, Anna Freud, and Edward Bernays influenced the way corporations and governments have analyzed,‭ dealt with, and controlled ‬people.” 

This documentary explains and shows how psychological manipulation of desires and fears has been utilized to manipulation and control society that shows how we’ve been implanted with ideas and beliefs that effect our behaviour and what we accept and allow as Our Reality.

Human Resources: Social Engineering In The 20th Century

“Brilliant…Riveting…The amount of material the filmmaker covers and unifies is astounding…Human Resources diagnoses the 20th century.” - Stephen Soldz, Professor, Boston Graduate School of Psychoanalysis; President, Psychologists for Social Responsibility

This documentary shows the experimentations that were done which show that we are not born with fear but that it is learned as a conditioned behavior, and how this has been utilized for manipulation and to breed separation and hate for the purpose of keeping us from working together to actually change our economic system and stop the abuse of life, and which forms the justification for us to actually accept going to war against each other. When war never leads to an actual solution, to actual real lasting effective change where we can live in a world in harmony with each other, but simply leads to more hate and war, which those who profit off of war are quite fine with. Yet everyone else suffers the loss of quality of life in uncountable ways, including actual loss of life. Let’s look at some of the main ways that war ruins life.

The Power Principle

“A gripping, deeply informative account of the plunder, hypocrisy, and mass violence of plutocracy and empire; insightful, historically grounded and highly relevant to the events of today.This documentary is about the foreign policy of the United States. It demonstrates the importance of the political economy, the Mafia principle, propaganda, ideology, violence and force.

It documents and explains how the policy is based on the interest of major corporations and a tiny elite to increase profits and the United States governments own interests in maintaining and expanding it’s imperialistic influence.

Inside the United States this has been made possible with a propaganda of fear for the horrible enemies like the Soviet Union, Communists and so on and a love for “free markets”, “democracy”, “freedom” and so on.Externally (and increasingly internally) this has caused massive poverty and suffering, genocide, war, coups, crushed unions and popular movements and environmental destruction.”

Psywar

“Psywar explores the evolution of propaganda and public relations in the United States, with an emphasis on the elitist theory of democracy; and the relationship between war, propaganda, and class”.








The Trap documentary series

This series consists of three one-hour programmes which explore the concept and definition of freedom, specifically, "how a simplistic model of human beings as self-seeking, almost robotic, creatures led to today's idea of freedom."








Now that you are up to speed on how it is we’ve come to accept war, that it’s not a natural expression of humanity, it had to be indoctrinated through psychological manipulation, and that the real purpose of it is for a few to make money and profit from it, we’ll now look at some of the main problems that come from war, in a list that is by no means exhaustive, and if you can see more problems not listed here, please share them in a comment to this post, as it may be featured in a future post as we will be looking into many of the numerous problems related to war in blogs to come.


Problems


Human Casualties

 

One of the most obvious points about wars – people get injured and killed. Not only Soldiers fighting in the war, but Civilians as well including children and elderly. People are maimed and suffer all kinds of harmful conditions, from all variety of weapons – explosive, projectile, incendiary, blades, blunt objects, chemicals, rape, etc. This is obviously not the kind of experiences that anyone would want to go through, and thus should not be done to anyone – no exceptions, as the point is only to cause physical harm and damage.


Overburdened Medical System

 

It also cause a lot of effort that takes place in the attempt to care for all the wounded and dying, and thus puts a massive strain on our medical systems which do not normally handle sudden massive influxes of wounded with all variety of conditions/injuries.


Disease

 

In places where there is a lack of sufficient care for the dead and wounded, in terms of dealing with mass amounts of dead bodies and wounded individuals, all kinds of disease and virus can spring up, causing a whole other host of problems to deal with. Poorer regions are particularly susceptible to this. Not to mention the usage of biological warfare.


Psychological Disorder

 

There is also the psychological effects of going through a war experience such as PTSD – Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Then there is also the aspect of Child Soldiers as children that are forced to take part in killing, who suffer psychological effects. I mean, war and killing does not make any sense. It’s obvious common sense that no one wants to go through the atrocities of war, and if one thinks they ‘do like war’, this is an indication of serious brainwashing, where one’s imagination has been captured through the impulsing of war as ‘fun’ and ‘entertaining’ and ‘exciting’ and has no ability to reason in a rational way, just as we’ve seen within the above documentaries, where one becomes programmed to have a positive reaction to violence, which is not a normal tendency but has to be conditioned in through repetition of connecting a positive experience toward violence. This is typically one who has not gone through an actual war experience, but only has an idea of it through, for example, video games or movies and stories that glorify war and being a soldier, and where when faced with reality, find out it is not so cool. It is really only when faced with a threat to one’s survival or the survival of one’s family, that one is driven to participate in war, and thus why our economic system plays a vital role in how individuals are even able to be convinced to kill each other – because it is their job as source of income with which to survive and provide for their families. If the threat of survival were not there, many would not make the choice to go to war - why take such a ridiculous risk if you didn’t have to.


Destruction of the Environment

 

The use of all kinds of weaponry does vast damage to the environment, such as toxic chemical warfare which doesn’t get properly cleaned up, even unused chemicals that don’t get properly disposed of, the effects of nuclear weaponry, and even just simply blowing things up. All this wreaks extensive damage to our environment/ecosystem, which is what supports us to live, and as such to destroy our ecosystem is to destroy ourselves. And all these things are still causing damage to this day, for example, there are still people being blown up by landmines leftover from where a battle had taken place, and mustard gas is still found inside trees that are cut down in forests where the gas was used during battle, and not to mention testing of nuclear bombs which has left devastating effects. All this destruction also displaces, destroys, and even causes mutation in animals and plants, which puts further pressure on our ecosystem.


Technology & Engineering

 

We’re spending our time developing all number of technological devices, weapons, vehicles, drones, all for the sake of war, instead of putting this effort and expertize into technology that can assist humanity, with for example providing clean drinking water to all, provided electricity to all, internet access to all so that everyone has equal access to information, automating jobs that are unpleasant for humans to do and eliminating harmful jobs by providing the best equipment to get jobs done, and developing alternative and sustainable ways of utilizing the earth’s resources, especially by developing alternatives to fossil fuels which are a finite resource that we utilize in almost everything we produce and consume on a regular basis – that should be one of the foremost priorities within technology today, not developing weapons to kill people.


Starvation & Lack of Necessities

 

The destruction of crops and the blocking of trade routes prevent areas from getting the necessary resources to live. Sometimes water supplies and electrical supplies will be purposefully cut off to regions, resulting in much suffering

Fighting over resources, but not because there isn’t enough – because we’re not effectively sharing it with all who need it, and taking measures to ensure all have it. There are wars fought over water – can we provide everyone with enough water? Yes. There are wars over energy – can we provide everyone with enough energy? Yes. There are wars over food – can we provide everyone with enough food? Yes. The problem, and why it seem like there is not enough, is because much of what we produce is being used up in our consumerism based system, where massive amounts of what we produce is thrown away even before it used, and much of what we do use, is only used briefly before it is then thrown away as well, while the recycling that we do is only a teeny tiny fraction of what we consume, thus we are squandering the resources we have like a glutton who is eating so fast he can’t even get all the food in his mouth and it is spilling out the sides, and then making sure that whatever falls out is destroyed so no one else can have it as you can’t sell it and make a profit.

These are just some of the prominent problems caused by War, and as I mentioned earlier, if you notice more, add them in a comment below.


Solutions


Change our Starting Point

 

The Solution to End War, is actually rather profoundly simple, that it is hard to believe. Hard to believe that with such a simple solution, we would still be allowing war to take place, when it cause such extensive suffering and effects all aspects of our lives. Yet the implementation will be less simple. The solution is to change our starting point from self interest, where we’re only looking out for me, mine, my own, my group, my religion, my country, my friends, my family, as when we are not considering everyone here equally, we are leaving some out of the equation, and that creates a condition of ‘force’ where we force each other to have to ‘fend for ourselves’ and essentially become each other’s enemy, instead of simply practically all working together, just like the cells in a properly functioning physical body. If the cells in your body were to develop hatred toward each other and stop cooperating and start fighting, the body no longer functions and would die.

As we’ve seen in those documentaries above, the reasons that we’ve come to accept and justify war were implanted, enmity was created and fear tactics utilized to control our psychological state, to apply a particular Psyche Logic that would make us go to War for the Profit of a few, under the justification of the apparent ‘need’ to control humanity for the benefit of all – yet it obviously has not benefited all, you can follow the money to see it has landed in only a few’s pockets while the rest are Left Out.

So fundamentally we require to change from 'survival mode', as there really is no threat anymore to our survival, except ourselves. We possess all the resources and technology to all live in harmony, so it is simply these points of accepted separation that we're holding onto, that's keeping us fighting each other for our survival.

YET, this is Likely to Never Happen as long as we have an economic system that puts us in a FORCED position of Fighting For Survival as Lack is purposefully induced for the sake of driving up demand to make more profits,. Poverty is allowed because there is no Profit in Ending it. And so if you don't have Money, you Have Less, and you are going to do what it takes to Get What you Need. Thus we necessitate fighting each other, and therefore distrust and hatred and violence, as those in lack which are Not PROVIDED For like those who Are supported by the system, must then TAKE what they need. So we are literally Forcing Our own Hand within our current economic system.


Thus what brings us to the next point, that is really the priority point -

Correcting the Economic System

The Key to End War, id to Prevent it, which means to stop Forcing us into the position of having to Fight and Take from each other, by simply Giving to Everyone what is Needed. When we Ensure that all of life including our ecosystem as nature and the animals, is properly cared for – there is nothing to fight over. This means changing the way we value money in the current system, from where currently we allow the value to be manipulated for the sake of profiting off of other’s labor, and changing to instead have the value of money reflect the value of life, so Life become what is Valued, and money actually become the tool that it was meant to be – to facilitate the effective distribution of resources of the Earth to all.

Thus the initiation of Equal Money Capitalism, in which we are correcting Capitalism where it is found to not be effectively supporting Life, so that it in fact functions as a system that cares for all, instead of supporting only a few while exploiting the rest of humanity and causing world-wide suffering and destruction. As we go into more detail of the various aspects of War in posts to come, so too will we cover in more detail, the solutions to be applied for each particular condition.

Equal Money Capitalism

Rewards

What would be the rewards of living in world without war?

Technology used only for the Benefit of life

No More Human Casualties

No More Polluting and Destruction of the Environment

No More having KILLING being a way to make a LIVING

No More Disease and Psychological Disorders from War

No Fear of War Happening

Peace of Mind Living in a world where War does not Exist

In posts to come, we will take a more in-depth look at the points listed here, in terms of getting into the nitty-gritty the Problems caused by war, the specific Solutions to apply, and the Rewards we stand to gain, which is nothing short of Heaven on Earth. So we’ll get into just what that means – stay tuned for more on WAR.

  • Day 175: We Have All Become Yes Men

    Tonight I watched a documentary called ‘Yes Men’.

    Description:
    A comedic documentary which follows The Yes Men, a small group of prankster activists, as they gain world-wide notoriety for impersonating the World Trade Organization on television and at business conferences around the world. The film begins when two members of The Yes Men, Andy and Mike, set up a website that mimics the World Trade Organization's--and it's mistaken for the real thing. They play along with the ruse and soon find themselves invited to important functions as WTO representatives. Delighted to represent the organization they politically oppose, Andy and Mike don thrift-store suits and set out to shock unwitting audiences with darkly comic satire that highlights the worst aspects of global free trade. 

    If you haven’t seen this documentary show, I suggest to watch it: Yes Men, to see a really clear example of how we as humanity have become brainwashed to accept whatever is presented to us, where only the really obviously extreme actually gets us to question things. You’ll see in this video a stark example of how we as humans have come to lack any ability to recognize that which is harmful to life and should not be accepted, and the shocking level of what we as humanity will accept and allow within this world, and within the very organizations that we accept as having prominent positions in our world system.

    Of course, this isn’t actually the way to save the world. The first step is just to waking ourselves up to what we’ve been accepting and allowing, so that we can really see who and what we’ve become, and that we are in fact responsible for how we create this reality, and all the suffering and abuse that is taking place, through allowing an economic system that is not effectively supporting everyone.

    The key is to see within/for ourselves as individuals how we live this point of accepting what is presented to us, and not questioning what is going on, and to educate ourselves as to what is really going on in this world, and how we must care for all life here, if we want the best life for ourselves. And thus develop the ability to recognize that which is harmful to life and that which benefit life as a whole, so we can support that which is benefit and not allow that which is abusive. I mean, it’s really quite strange we don’t exist that way already, that we’ve allowed ourselves to disregard life to the extent where we take a back seat to reality and just accept what’s here, regardless of the consequences.

    But it is really no surprise that we exist in such a level of ignorance when you look at what it is we’re doing to this world and ourselves, how we’re treating life here, and practically abusing life in every way possible. Deluding ourselves that humanity cares in some way, when there is no evidence of this caring when we allow beings to starve to death and go without the necessities of physical life.

    How is it that we can go through our entire education system and come out as a human being that disregards our world and all life? Our school system has been designed to support the system and business, and not life, and the result is we teach children generation after generation that the disregard of life is acceptable for the sake of business and making profit. This requires to be corrected, before we completely annihilate ourselves and all life here, and thus the initiative of Equal Money Capitalism is under way, to take Capitalism and align it into a system that no longer abuse and disregard life. To stop churning out humans within the school systems to be batteries to fuel the system of business and making money while not caring about life and the very environment and nature that supports us to live, but rather giving children an education of real value, to become beings that actually care for life, in learning how this physical reality actually operates, how our very lives are dependent on it and the quality of it, and therefore everything we do in this reality should be evaluated to ensure that we are in no way harming life here, as to so is to harm ourselves.

    Day 172: Board Games as Tools for Brainwashing (Part 3)

    This post is a continuation from the previous posts:

    Now we’re going to continue from the previous posts, in now walking Self Forgiveness on the relationship we’ve existed as that we’ve discovered through having a look at our relationship with/toward board games, in this bringing responsibility back to self at the individual level, as that is where all responsibility lies, and then we’ll walk Self Commitment Statements, to correct our relationship with board games to an equal and one standing to assist and support with no longer giving one’s ‘power’, as one’s self will and self direction, away to board games.

    I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to forget that I was not born already playing board games or already liking board games, but that I had to be taught about them, and thus I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to take for granted that 'board games are fun' or are 'normal' and thus to not question/investigate them, as to what they show about our accepted nature as humanity.

    I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to, when where it comes up in a moment to play a board game, and I notice a character activating within myself according to the memories of past experiences with playing board games, to not question this, but to accept it as normal, within this not questioning how it is that I can go from one moment being here stable, to then suddenly my entire inner experience changing and being ‘taken over’ by the character which is activating, where I can see myself getting into a certain ‘mood’ and ‘stance’ within myself as to how I’m going to act/move/speak within playing the board game.

    I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to in such moment not consider how when the character activate and take over, that I am no longer here simply as myself, playing the board game and interacting with those around me, or even aware at all of my physical environment/surroundings, as I’ve literally become the embodiment of this board game character which takes up all my focus and attention, which is now focused on playing the game and maintaining a certain presentation.

    I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to use board games as a distraction and form of ‘coping mechanism’ at family gatherings/occasions/holidays, as a distraction from my inner experience as how I was experiencing myself in the situation of being around other family members/the environment/situation, instead of investigating and questioning my inner reaction, but rather suppressing it, so I can continue ‘having a good time’.

    I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to play long with the principles of the game as If I totally accept the principles the game is based upon, when really I am going along with it out of fear, of how others might react if I were to question it, that there might be conflict, that I’d be ‘spoiling the fun’.

    To not want to ‘spoil the fun’ within this not realizing that if the fun can be ‘spoiled’ then it isn’t real fun anyway, as it’s not then simply enjoying myself as life here, but is a ‘fun’ that is dependent on certain conditions being just so, by maintaining a ‘presentation’ of ‘this is fun’ ‘I have no problem with this’. Within this, I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to not realize that anything that apparently ‘can’t be questioned’ is immediately suspect, and this includes for example God’s Will, or LOVE, where these are not to be questioned but simply believed/participated in, for if they were to be questioned, they would not stand up to common sense, and be exposed as the source of extensive abuse and suffering, and those are the things we resist to question/investigate, because we know that then we will have to change as what we are participating in does not stand as common sense what is best for all, and thus obviously ought to be stopped as it cause harm and that is unacceptable.

    I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to not see how who I am within my relationship toward board games is the same as our relationship as humanity to the ‘game’ of life, where the very same principles that I have accepted within board games are the same principles I have accepted to exist within the world at large.

    I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to not realize that when I participate in the behavior of utilizing board games as a distraction from my experience, that I am in essence participating in the same behavior that we as humanity participate in as a whole, where we seek to avoid looking at/facing/investigating what is really going on within ourselves, utilizing various forms of distraction, and thus, within this, I am responsible for the existence of this point, which is manifested on the larger world scale as the various entertainment industries, and that the very size and amount of such industries really shows the extent to which we as humanity have avoided facing ourselves and reality, and spending much of our ‘spare time’ within entertainment as fantasy creations, rather than getting down to actual living in reality, settling for fantasies instead of if we face this reality and sort it out, creating a world that is fun to live in and where we can really move and express ourselves, within actual physical reality, instead of only living in a world of imagination, which is imaginary and not real in substance.

    I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to not realize that the same principles that form the design of the typical board game, as where there is a winner and the rest losers, where only one ‘benefits’ while the rest are left out, even though all participated in the game, is the same design as the current money system, and that since the money system is the system which provides us with the support to live, this means that those that are in the losing position are actually losing life, as they are being deprived of the very necessities to live, and thus such a system is unacceptable as it lead to such suffering and abuse, and thus should be corrected, through correcting Capitalism to stand on the principles which it was intended to but has not been held to, which is to effectively support everyone equally.

    I commit myself to use board games as self assistance to become aware of myself as the relationships I exist as within myself, by when about to or during playing a board game, to notice and investigate what comes up within me, as the thoughts feelings, emotions, back/internal conversations that come up, and where if I am not in an environment that is suitable for investigating myself right in that moment, then I flag point and take note of the points that come up for myself to investigate when I have an appropriate moment later on, where I can really look at the points that came up and take the time to write it out and apply the corrective application of self forgiveness and self corrective statements.

    I commit myself to when and as I see memories come up when the subject of board games is brought up, to flag point them for investigation, as these memories show me the clues as to how/where/when/why I created this character, according to previous experiences where I went into reactions/feelings/emotions and integrated them as a behavioral pattern that I then live out as a preprogrammed automated system.

    I commit myself to when and as I see myself about to/going into a ‘board game character’, to stop, breathe and ground myself here in physical reality, and to assist and support myself to not go into this character, and remain here stable as myself, as I realize that by going into this character, I am not actually here living, but for the moment become the embodiment of the board game character, where I then am essentially possessed by this character where all my behavior, mannerisms, tonalities, movements, the words I speak, are all from within/as this character, and not as myself simply here with nothing moving inside me, able to express myself in the moment.

    I commit myself to doing what it takes to correcting the system of Capitalism to function according to the principles that it is supposed to, within supporting humanity effectively, so that we can sort out this reality finally and ensure that all life is cared for, so that we can actually have some real fun here in reality, and not be tempted to seek out forms of entertainment as distractions from our responsibilities here, while so many suffer as a result of neglecting our responsibility, and thus I commit myself to holding Capitalism to its own principles and its claims that it is an effective system, so that it actually will be an effective system, and not simply accept it the way it is, out of fearing conflict/change, as the price of avoiding our responsibility is paid in human lives a price that no one would volunteer to pay.
